Important The Ridley for SSB4 Thread - End of an Era

[AndreaAC]

Tehe. ~ Or to be glad why Ridley doesn't get rule 63 stuff done of him that often, I suppose.

What about using Omega Ridley for that one suggestion/idea I had made awhile back? An image of him pulling a Mega Man final smash would most certainly be awesome too though.

xD you know, in one of my sketches i was thinking about it....with the cape and all....but i need to start bit by bit with Omega....i can't draw him complete so fast

 

[kikaru]

You guyz see the comments of todays MiiVerse pic?

Yup. Sakaru pls.

...You really hate roidley, don`t ya?

 

[AndreaAC]

Yes... Believe it or not, the dinosaur Yoshi's name was taken from Sakamoto's first name, which Miyamoto did as a homage to his friendship with the guy.

xD what a great friendship they have, you can even let the dinosaur fall to his doom while the other saves his own life....

@BaganSmashBros Of course!

 

[Smashoperatingbuddy123]

Well it looked like he went up a hair


And I took a look at size wise and

Does this help look at the pillars without the lights

I think the smash pyrosphere is shrunken compaired to the other m one but ridley is stayed to scale with the stage but the stage is smaller but samus is still the smash samus is the same size as the other m samus so other m other m ridley is bigger than the smash 4 other m ridley

And his legs and arms might be shorter according to my calculations

What I'm saying is if ridley is playable sakurai did a loop hole so ridley still retains his size as big as he was on the pyrosphere but everyone else gets bigger on it and ridley is that size for the other stages too

Stage in Smash 4 is smaller that it was in the original game, while Ridley isn`t really changed in terms of size when compared to the stage...hm...

Ridley can't be resized.

However the world around him can be.

How about not making Ridley smaller, but instead make evryone and everything in Smash bigger except Ridley! That way, Sakurai doesn't needs to shrink him

BUT THEN EVERYONE WILL BE 2 BIG FOR SM4SH! WAAAH! ADD GOKU INSTEAD! WAAH! AND SHY GUY! WAAH! AND TOAD! WAAH!..and all of this stuff. But everyone saying that will be shot too.

And just something related to Ridley, but not from something by Nintendo:

Spoiler

 

[Spazzy_D]

Every time I think I can make peace with Ridley most likely not being playable, I come across some idiot Ridley haters online gloating and I just can't do it.

 

[Sebz]

You know, I had a thought. Seeing as how the Yellow Devil basically assists whoever deal the final blow, what if Ridley does something similar, but once you beat him or trigger an event, you get to control him momentarily? This would explain the unnatural movement from the Direct clip. Also, and this might be a stretch, what if your character rides him once you manage to gain control, explaining why they only showed his shadow.

 

[Ridley_Prime]

Oh, right on. Was just making sure you hadn't forgotten after all this time I guess. >.>

Welcome to my world post-Brawl.

That's one of the worse things about having Ridley deconfirmed than your usual character/Smash candidate, in addition to what someone pointed out earlier in how it also brings more idiots out of the woodwork saying "I don't think he could've ever worked anyway, didn't understand why he was this popular/demanded to begin with, etc". You don't get that with Samurai Goroh or Waluigi or anyone else that gets deconfirmed, saying that they couldn't of worked.

But he wasn't attacked in that footage and I can tell nobody was on his back

don't worry, i will try to draw your idea as soon as i can...

Every. Single. Time. I come across someone saying Ridley: is a boss/is too big/won't work, and they say that Anthony Higgs/Rundas/Random Hunter should be added instead, none of these chars aren't even as important as Dark Samus and look at her, she is an Assist Trophy! Then I get bashed for wanting Ghirahim.
Seriously, why can't no one get it that Ridley is the most important char from the Metroid series yet to be playable.
*sigh* just had to take this out of my chest

 

[BaganSmashBros]

A. Because they are J.E.R.K.-s.
B. Because they want to rise chances of their wanted characters.
C. Because it became some kind of a meme...terrible one.
D. Because they just don`t know him and think he is just a random pterosaurus/dragon boss from a game they never played.
Maybe there is more reasons why...

Nah man, obviously this wonderful fellow is the most important character:

He is the only Metroid character to have his name in the title after all.

I see what you did there

And every other single Metroid in the entire series...

Ridley's chances just went up after the Direct
1.The shadow confirms we will see him in some form or another
2.The other 3 important Metroid chars were all deconfirmed
3.Sakurai loves trolling(note: this applies to any Smash related news)

Is that from Wii or Gamecube version?

and he is as important as queen parasite, but everyone knows your post is a joke...whatever...yeah...duh...

What? All i said was that they are Jerkish Eldritch Rockin` Kremlings/Koopas (please, someone, draw this!..please?..).

I thought you were refferring to them http://the-wonderful-101.wikia.com/wiki/The_GEATHJERK_Federation which in the game is shortened to J.E.R.K. by the humans
Anyway, I'm getting a little off-topic, so back to Ridley discussion!
I don't know what to talk about him now

.

No idea, is there even a difference between them? I just got it off the Metroid wikia wiki.

Well, as somecallmejohnny said, there is added bloom effects, white screen support, etc (maybe its writen in a different way, but whatever). And of course controls, addition of Spring Ball, which helps with the spider guardian from MP2.

I never even heard of "The Wonderful 101"...but thats kinda funny since i never heard about some kind of a organization named J.E.R.K. ...
Don`t know what to talk about him now? TOO BAD! RIDLEY DANCE T- oh, i forgot when i had saved the link...d`oh!

 

[Shinru202]

Well while we're at it then... Remember this guiz?!

Rule 63 Ridley is SO SEXY!
All other Nintendo Villains and Girls are so JELLY right now!

 

[Ridley_Prime]

For some reason I just had a weird image of that Ridley in zero suit form.

 

[OblivionWolf]

Looking at peoples reactions to the shadows on Youtube. I swear almost every video I watched was people saying "Haha knew it stupid Ridley fans".

....I guess I can't expect everyone to be like me looking at every little detail and looking at Ridley's shadow every little movement lol. Once E3 comes along and Ridley gets confirmed.....I won't be the guy to be like "Haha you were wrong idiots!" but I would be lying if I said im not gonna watch other people bite there heads off.

 

[Steelia]

You know how in the Ridley shadow his arms are down when flying? Ok he so goes off screen lands then jumps right at the very end before it fades out. Starts at 1:07 he goes off screen then he turns around and jumps with his arms in the air. If someone could screen cap it that would be great.

www.youtube.com/watch?v=fb35vh33Mb8

Getting back to this... Not quite a screen cap, but here:

Slowed down the last couple dozen frames when Ridley achieves liftoff. The animation cuts off too early to know exactly what he's doing. Single/double jump? Recovery? Or if a boss, some sort of attack animation?

 

[Typs]

Hi guys! I'm back! i had to take a break after the...bikini...incident... But now everything is better and i...

GOD DAMMIT! WHY ARE YOU...

I'd say for sure a single jump. Hmmm things are looking good for Ridley imo.

 

[AndreaAC]

@Ridley_Prime do you remember that i told you about a video i found on a japanese site where i got a lot of screencaps of Omega Ridley? i could make a little gif of that part....

 

[Anomilus]

About Sakamoto... If there's one thing about his choices that would make me glad he might not work on more Metroid, it's his tendency to kill of everything! Retro had the decency to leave things open. They were actually expanding upon the Metroid universe and creating future potential. Sakamoto has this annoying tendency to annihilate everything he introduces into the series.

Metroid evolutions on SR-388? Nope, Samus blown 'em up.
Ridley? Kill him, blow up the planet he died on, create a bizarre clone of him, kill that off, have his corpse transform into a freaky alien mutated version, kill that off.
Space Pirates? Constantly kill them off in droves until there's no plausible chance of them returning.
X-Parasites? Metroid evolutions making a return? NOPE, blow up the space station AND the planet they reside on. At the same time.

The Prime series? Call it an "off shoot" of the series or something like that.

Frankly it's like Sakamoto's been trying to figuratively and LITERALLY kill the series for years. I don't care if he ever touches the series again if all he's capable of doing is eliminating potential instead of nurturing it.

 

[GraveEclipse567]

Metroid wouldn't be Metroid without making something go extinct or making the place you are in the game explode.

 

[Anomilus]

Metroid wouldn't be Metroid without making something go extinct or making the place you are in the game explode.

Something... Not EVERYTHING.

Prime killed of Metroid Prime, the Ing Horde, Dark Samus, and Phazon. But the Space Pirates remained aplenty, the Chozo had the possibilities of assisting Samus in spirit, we had other alien species...

Sakamoto's all like "lol nope I liek my version bettr"


Well, to Sakamoto's credit, we still have Samus, a Dachora, two Etecoons, and Adam Malkovich's brain.

wee.

 

[The Curious Volnutt]

Adam Malkovich's brain

Implying that he had one

I see is likely a jump or he's starting to dash

 

[GraveEclipse567]

The brain of the man who either fell asleep while Samus was in Pyrosphere or completely forgot that she wouldn't be able to withstand the heat is a very useful brain to have.

 

[Dalek_Kolt]

Well, not so much a brain so much as an AI...

Adam became a lot better as a character after he died. I guess there's the manga, but maybe the federation copied his mind before he went stupid...
